A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You don't need a license to learn from a story, but if learning requires you first to make an enduring copy of the story on your laptop then you could be violating copyright.

And neural nets generally require a local enduring copy of their training data, which means they too could be violating copyright.

Isn’t copyright only an issue when a copy is sold?

No. For example, most people who pirate software, movies, and music do not sell anything. But they are still violating copyright.
